TAVERN BODGE LOCAL BAR AND LOUNGE CLUBHOUSE

The next morning, Boni and I are sitting in chairs, playing with Scooby Beagle.

"So, Jonny and You spent the night here last night." Boni said to me.

"Yeah, we didn't know that no one was here." I said to her.

"I took the Cobras out for cocktail drinks at the CrimsonQuinn Speakeasy." Boni said. "But I came back to the Tavern Bodge and heard some electro-pop music from upstairs."

I look at Boni, and Boni looks at Me.

"Jonny suggested that I couldn't be kinky and so, I did." I said to her.

"Violet? You're 24 years old. You shouldn't hold back from being intimate with Jonny." Boni said to me.

"I don't hold back being intimate with Jonny." I repeated back to her.

Boni gives me a really look, and I sighs to myself.

"Maybe, you're right." I said to her, and becomes annoyed with myself. "I'm 24 years old young adult, I shouldn't hold back from being intimate."

"Yeah." Boni agreed and hands me a key.

"What's the key for?" I asked.

"The Tavern Bodge has a guest clubhouse. I used it for lounging "me time, maybe, you can borrow it this evening." Boni suggested to me.

I gently takes the key from her and looks at the key itself. "Okay."

*~*~*

ARRINDALE AUTO SHOP

Later on that day, I slowly walks inside and looks at Jonny, Eric and Matt wearing their gray jumpsuits, working on some vehicles.

"Jonny?" I said to him.

Jonny looks at me from under his pickup truck hood and stands up straight. "Hey, Vinny."

I slowly walks up to him. "I wanted to apologize for last night."

"You held back a little." Jonny said to me.

"Yeah, and I shouldn't have. I love you, Jonny. I really do." I said to him.

"Violet, it's fine, you don't have to apologize. I suggested it and you did because I suggested that you couldn't." Jonny said to me.

"Can I make it up to you?" I asked him.

"Sure." Jonny said.

I pulls out the key that Boni given me and shows it to Jonny. "Boni given me this key. It's to the guest clubhouse that the Tavern Bodge."

"I'll meet you there tonight." Jonny said.

"Okay." I said, putting the key back in my jacket pocket. And wipes away an oil smudge from his right cheek with my thumb. "You had oil smudge on your cheek."

"Thanks." Jonny said.

Jonny and I exchange small smiles at each other and I walks away.

*~*~*

OLSON HOME

In my bedroom, I'm sitting at my computer desk, working on my class assignments for Miss. Laney's English on my laptop.

"Hey, Violet." My Mom greeted me, gently leaning sideways on the doorway.

"Hey, Mom." I greeted her back.

"I'm gonna be home a little late. I have double shifts at ArrinDale General Hospital this evening." My Mom tells me.

"Okay." I said.

"And your Dad told me to tell you and Boni that he's gonna be at the Olson construction site this evening too." My Mom told me.

"Okay." I said.

My PalmOne Treo phone buzzes on my computer desk. I picks it up and looks at it.

Maggie

I answer my phone. "Maggie?"

"Violet? I'm at the ArrinDale Asylum?!" Maggie exclaimed on the phone.

"Alright, I'm coming." I told her, hanging up my phone and getting up and walking away. "Mom? Gotta go, can't talk right now."

*~*~*

ARRINDALE ASYLUM

That late afternoon, Craig and I arrive in my Honda Civic Hatchback car. We gets out and runs inside the asylum.

Craig and I walks inside the main room, looking around for Maggie.

"Maggie?!" I exclaimed, worriedly. "Maggie?!"

"Maggie, where are you?!" Craig exclaimed, worriedly, about his wife.

"Craig? Violet?" Maggie said from the other main room.

Craig and I both runs into the main room and sees Maggie tied up to a pillar with a dynamite timer, which has 20 seconds, strapped to her.

"Oh my gosh." I said, and walks up to her. "Maggie? What the hell happened?"

"Eleanor Reese kidnapped me from the CrimsonQuinn Speakeasy and knocked me out with anesthesia. I regained conscious and awoken here." Maggie told Craig and Me.

"It's the green wire." Craig said.

"Or the orange wire." I suggested with a pair of scissors that I snagged from the main room. "Okay, here it goes."

Maggie closes her eyes as I decide which wire to cut. With the pair of scissors, I cut the orange wire.

Craig, Maggie and I exchange looks at each other as we expect the dynamite timer to go off. But it doesn't.

Maggie slowly opens her eyes and looks at the dynamite timer. I un-strapped the dynamite timer from her torso and tosses it away in a garbage can.

"I figured you were gonna cut the green wire." Eleanor Reese said from the second floor railing.

Craig, Maggie and I looks up at Eleanor Reese.

"You really are a deranged psycho bitch." I tell her.

"Yeah, I am." Eleanor Reese said, not bothering to deny it. "And don't worry about the Scary Bunnies, my younger twin sis, Christine Reese, handled them."

And Eleanor Reese disappears in the hallway of the darkness.

Craig, Maggie and I exchange worried looks at each other as we figure out what she meant by the Scary Bunnies.

*~*~*

Craig, Maggie and I walks inside the cafeteria and looks at the dead bodies of the Scary Bunnies laying around on the floor. Some has stab wounds and throat silts and small puddles of blood.

"Oh my gosh." Maggie said, horrified.

Craig, Maggie and I exchange horrified looks at each other.

*~*~*

JEN'S MILK-O-SHAKE MALT SHOP DINER

That evening, Craig, Maggie and I are sitting in a booth table.

"Christine Reese killed The Scary Bunnies." I said.

"And then, there's The Malphas serial killer." Craig mentioned.

"At least, Boni and the Cobras doesn't have to worry about the Scary Bunnies anymore." Maggie said.

"Yeah. But the Malphas is still a working progress." I said.

Craig, Maggie and I exchange worried looks at each other.

Violet (VO) I've always had a uneasy vibe about this small town. It scares me sometimes.

*~*~*

TAVERN BODGE GUEST HOUSE

That night, I have my arms folded, gently leaning sideways on the wall, looking out of the window.

"Violet?" Jonny said, slowly walks up to me and gently leans sideways on the wall beside me with the window in between us. " I would asks you if you were okay, but you're not."

"The Scary Bunnies are deceased." I tell him.

"How so?" Jonny asked.

"Christine Reese." I told him. "And now, it's Eleanor Reese and Christine, and the Malphas."

"What is The Malphas anyway?" Jonny asked me.

"Craig, Maggie and I had gathered some information on The Malphas. It's a cloaked masked serial killer. The deceased Carmen Pepper painted a canvas of it. I kept it for information." I tell him.

"Must be hectic with the special agent tasks that you, Craig and Maggie does." Jonny said.

"Yeah, it is. Craig, Maggie and I are a trio." I said to him.

*~*~*

Afterwards, Jonny is sitting in the dimly-lit bedroom, playing a game on his phone.

"Hey, Jonny." I greeted him, with my hands on my hips.

Jonny looks at me and becomes impressed at what I'm wearing. "Is that supposed to impress me?"

"Maybe, yeah." I said to him, and slowly removes my hands from my hips and slowly walks up to him. "Is it too much?"

"Not really no." Jonny said, getting up to his feet and slowly walks up to me.

"I haven't wore this since high school." I said to him.

"You're not gonna hold back this time, aren't you?" Jonny asked me, gently wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Nope, I'm 24 years old." I tell him.

Jonny and I exchange small smiles at each other. He and I gently pulls off his long sleeve shirt, revealing his bare chest and his tattoos, which is a diamond shaped tattoo on his right side chest and his blue Cobra head tattoo on his right upper arm.

Jonny and I kisses each other, passionately. He gently lifts me up in his arms and gently lays me down on the bed, embracing our passionate kiss with it becoming intimate.

*~*~*

Boni Olson slowly walks inside the small living room.

"Hello? Jonny? Violet?" Boni said.

Suddenly, Boni hears electro-pop music blaring from the soundproof bedroom. She small smiles to herself and walks away, walking out of the guest house.

*~*~*

After-awhile, in the bedroom, Jonny is asleep in bed, shirtless, wearing his boxer briefs, underneath the fluffy maroon bedcover.

I'm sitting beside him, wearing his long sleeve shirt and my dark gray undies, baring my legs.

I gently combs my fingers through his shaggy fluffy dark brown hair. I slowly looks away from him and inhales and exhales softly to myself.

*~*~*

3RD POV

At the Blue Sapphire Speakeasy Lounge, Ricky Henson and girlfriend, Prudence Rivera, walks down the steps and into the dimly-lit main room.

Christine Reese is sitting at the bar counter, drinking herself a margarita.

"Christine Reese? What are you doing here?" Ricky asked.

"I needed a drink, so, I made myself one." Christine Reese said, drinking the rest of her margarita.

"You and my psychotic cousin, Eleanor Reese, have been pretty busy as of late with your scheming." Ricky said.

"Eleanor and I are twins, so, I'm your cousin as well, Ricky." Christine Reese said.

"Duh. Like I didn't know already that." Ricky said with a smart mouth.

"Oh, wow, Ricky, you have a bad mouth, do you smooch your little girlfriend, Prue, with it?" Christine Reese taunted with a grin.

"You bitch." Prudence said, lugging at Christine.

And Christine breaks her margarita glass, leaving the stem and points it at Prudence.

"You wanna go at it? Try me. You will lose, Prudence." Christine Reese told Prudence.

Ricky gently puts a reassuring hand on his girlfriend's, Prudence's, shoulder. "Prudence, don't."

Prudence and Christine Reese exchange tense looks at each other, but Christine has a serious sadistic look in her eyes along with a straight face.

"I'll see you youngsters around." Christine Reese said, walking away, walking out of the speakeasy lounge.

Ricky Henson and Prudence Rivera exchange looks at each other and then, notices an "M" spray-painted on the wall.

"What the hell?" Prudence said, bewildered.

Ricky and Prudence exchange bewildered looks at each other and looks at the spray-painted "M".
